"But……"
Shen Zhiyi looked at the jewelry, "It's really too expensive..."
“It’s not expensive.” Qi Yuran paused and said, “I have a friend who specializes in gem mining. This is one of his designs, but he hasn’t sold many pieces.”
"Just consider it... helping him clear out his inventory."
He wasn't lying either.
Designers who don't sell their work to the public, designers whose work is extremely rare and highly sought after, designers who only pursue high-end auctions and haute couture.
Indeed, they can't sell more than a few pieces a year.
Shen Zhiyi: ...
"Milk Mom, stop making excuses." Qi Yuran sat on the sofa, holding a rabbit doll.
He lowered his head and sniffed.
A faint floral fragrance wafted from above, just like the scent on her body.
“What you gave me is worth more than that big box.” His eyes darkened. “It is priceless to me… and to the milk.”
A quote from Borges suddenly came to mind.
The moon is unaware of her serene and bright appearance, and doesn't even know that she is the moon.
He thought.
It's with him.
She is the moon, unaware of everything.
Shen Zhiyi sighed.
"All right."
"Then I'll accept it."
Looking at the large box of things, she said sincerely, "You picked very well, I like them all."
"Thank you."
Qi Yuran's entire chest pounded with the sound of her words.
He held the doll, deeply immersed in her gentle aura.
"You're welcome."
"I should thank you; you've helped me a lot."
Milk smelled Shen Zhiyi's scent, jumped onto the sofa, poked its head out, and sniffed the doll with the tip of its nose.
Qi Yuran frowned, and with a possessive gesture, hugged the pink bunny to his chest and turned away.
I won't even let it smell it.
Milk protested with a meow.
"Is that the milk making noise?" Shen Zhiyi asked.
Qi Yuran paused for a moment.
Point the camera at the huffing kitten, "That's it."
"It was ecstatic."
“Look, their claws are showing.”
Shen Zhiyi looked at the open pink paw pads and the neatly trimmed nails on them, and smiled, "You take good care of it."
"I didn't even complain when you were cutting my nails."
Qi Yuran saw the scratches on her arm from the kitten.
Shu Ao raised his eyebrows slightly.
"It was a bit difficult to deal with at first, but it couldn't beat me and had to submit and obediently let me cut its hair."
Shen Zhiyi could hear the smugness in his words.
I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She also talked about some interesting stories about taking care of Milk, mentioning how the little guy was wary and thin when she first found him.
The two ended up chatting for quite a long time.
When the phone got hot and the battery was low, Shen Zhiyi exclaimed in surprise, hurriedly said goodbye, and hung up the video call.
Qi Yuran collapsed onto the sofa.
Holding the phone.
Raise one arm and cover your eyes.
She was still holding the pink rabbit in her arms.
He thought of her melodious laughter just now, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, his chest filled with boundless joy.
He didn't know.
I never knew chatting could be so fun.
It makes people forget about time so easily.
In the past, whether he was alone or surrounded by noise, he had little desire to speak.
But for her...
Everything seems different.
Shen Zhiyi also discovered her own joy.
As she tidied her clothes, she touched the soft fabric, and what came to mind was his muscular, bare upper body and those gray athletic shorts...
She buried her face in her skirt.
Conceal the curve of the corners of your lips.
I still don't know what he looks like.
I don't even know his name.
But for some reason, I felt that he was very enthusiastic, very young, very considerate, and also... familiar.
It felt like we'd known each other for a long time.
After tidying up, Shen Zhiyi lay down on the bed. For the first time, she didn't sleep with her rabbit plushie, but she didn't feel lonely.
*
A few days later, at night.
Shen Zhiyi received a call from Qi Jinjiu.
"Yibao, emergency!"
"Please help me!"
Shen Zhiyi was originally wearing gloves and holding her phone between her shoulder and arm.
Upon hearing this, she immediately dropped the flowers she was arranging, took off her gloves, picked up her phone, and asked anxiously, "What happened?"
Qi Jinjiu wailed on the other end of the phone.
"I dealt with Chifeng these past few days, cutting off all their investments and making their leaders suffer a huge loss."
"Coincidentally, my crush also accepted my advances."
"Isn't that a double celebration?" Shen Zhiyi said.
"That's right!" Qi Jinjiu said, "But I'm at the hotel now! My crush is on his way, and I'm about to sleep with him!"
"But!"
"The hotel didn't have any condoms!"
She wailed dramatically, "Isn't that giving my crush an excuse to run away at the last minute?"
"No, we absolutely cannot let him get away tonight!"
"None of the delivery places near me have his size. Could you please go to the supermarket or convenience store and look for as many as you can? I need to stay here and keep him occupied."
Shen Zhiyi's lips twitched.
"How do you know his size when you haven't even succeeded yet?"
Qi Jinjiu chuckled.
"That's why I say you're so naive."
"Just because I didn't succeed doesn't mean I didn't try anything with him."
"I inspected the goods before making a purchase."
Shen Zhiyi smiled helplessly, "Alright, send me the size and I'll go find it for you."
It was awkward, though.
But if my sister is in trouble, I will help her even if it means dying for her.
